What have I got to do to make you love me?
What have I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wait to find that you're not there

What have I got to do to make you want me?
What have I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over, baby?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to be
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I got to do to make you want me?
What have I got to do to be heard, oh?
And what do I say when it's all over, baby?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word, oh

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more absurd
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to be
Sorry seems to be the hardest word, oh baby
